The method to set the time on the Excelle is: 1. Turn on the radio and wait for the time to appear automatically, then press and hold the 'clolk' button; 2. Press the rewind button 'H' to select the hour, and press the fast-forward button 'm' to select the minutes; 3. After adjusting, turn off the radio to exit. The Excelle is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2611mm. The Excelle is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 79 kW and a maximum torque of 133 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a compound torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
I'm a seasoned Buick Excelle owner. I remember when setting the time initially, you need to start the vehicle first, then check the time display on the instrument panel area where there's usually a small button or knob. Hold the button for a few seconds until the hours or minutes start flashing, which means you've entered the setup mode. Then use the knob near the steering wheel to adjust the numbers - turn clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease. After setting, wait a few seconds for it to save automatically. Newer Excelle models might have a touchscreen, making it easier to access the settings menu directly on the screen. I once encountered inaccurate time issues, and upon checking, found it was caused by an aging battery resetting the system. After replacing the battery, I set the time immediately. Also, accurate time settings help the navigation system and dashcam. If errors occur frequently, it's advisable to check if the circuit fuses are intact or if the voltage is stable. Making it a habit to check the time during regular maintenance is good practice - don't wait until an important appointment to remember this.
